    I want to add an image to a post and I want the same image to be appeared on the homepage as an thumbnail. Basically, I am working on theme from WooThemes, I want to post an image to a post (not as a featured image) and I want that image to appear on the home page. Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks

    Create your own home.php template and add the thumbnail code into it. With WordPress' feature image for posts/pages you can set the thumbnail from the edit screen.

    You would basically add this code inline with your the_excerpt() or the_content() area inside the Loop:

    <?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'thumbnail'); ?>
    Code (markup):
    More information and options for this function on the get the post thumbnail page in the WordPress Codex.

    @Dodger, Thanks. I will have a look at that link. I'm sure this will take time to understand as I am bit weak when it's server side scripting. However, I will give a try.
